Do you use Blink ? the backlight should go off after NoLED kicks in by about a second or two. so its not exactly immediate, and therefore might not work well with "Blink".

I'm not really sure. Try to find the new app in "Monitored Apps". One of these listed there is triggering the status bar. Its a matter of finding which one of them it is and enabling it.
[Android Apps and Games] pubedeoro2002:
No I do not use Blink or any other software for the management of the LED.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
hmmm... maybe the Nexus S is not the only one that is excluded from that feature.

How exactly does that happen on your device ? you get a notification, and without you touching any button, the lights on the buttons turn on and stay on ?
[Android Apps and Games] pubedeoro2002:
Exactly. When he gets a notification of the physical keyboard lights come on without turning off
[Android Apps and Games] TayzGpa:
Sweeeeeeeeet!

I gotta tell ya, this is really a sweet app. In fact, I would use it even IF my Samsung Captivate had led's. Works like a champ. I am currently using 4.1.15b.

Thanks man, you are my new best friend. :p

Hello,

I have used NoLED for a while now and in my opinion it is a must have on the Fascinate and other Galaxy S phones. Unfortunately it no longer works for me :( I have looked through 183 pages of this thread and the best I can figure out is that it is caused by the theme I am using (Blackish v07 - By GoldenStorm) which I installed via ROM Manager. It worked fine but I recently changed to JT1134 Superclean for DJ05 v0.9 ROM and StupidFast 12.19 Kernel.

With all of that the only thing I can figure is that the lock screen is causing it to not work because it is similar to widget lock which there is a posted work around for. Unfortunately I could not find any solution to my combination of theme, ROM, kernel.

Anyone have suggestions or similar problem.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] midopama:
Sorry, I did not read all pages.

But I have following problem: I did Install the newest version of NoLed, but after every restart of my Galaxy S, Noled did reset. All settings are loosen. And If I start Noled, it starts with the welcomescreen.

Since yesterday I use 2.2.1 JPY.

With JPO there was no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
If the theme does indeed replace your lock screen or disables it, then you're pretty much out of luck. You can try one of these very early versions of NoLED that didn't depend on a lock screen being active to trigger events.

read the FAQ for more info on that.

doesn't seem like a NoLED problem. I think something got messed up in your rom/kernel/lag fix combination.
[Android Apps and Games] skipper2:
Thank you. I had tried 2.3 since in a post somewhere else in the thread it said to try <2.4. 2.3 did not work either, however as an FYI the soft keys lit up when I had a missed call.
[Android Apps and Games] midopama:
I found the solution:

in the folder "dbdata/databases/" delete the programm which is not storing the data, and than install it again, then it will work and will not loose the settings !

NoLED

I selected the email app in Toggle Notifications' and did the test. The email app icon does indeed show up with the test. I was just thinking that since I had my yahoo account set up it would be right next to the google account, but, oh well. BTW, my sound notification will not work no matter what I do. I wonder if it has something to do with the Nero Rom I'm running. Nero V5 right now. Any ideas?:D

Associate, constantly active clock would be an excellent option.

Tell me please - this is possible, and if so, whether this feature in new versions?

Thanks an advance .

P.S. : Application is realy beautiful , thans a lot !
[Android Apps and Games] lqbweb:
ive got into the idea that the main problem of the program is that when you have a notification prompting out to the screen it avoid the phone to get suspend and it ends with the battery of the phone... so lets say ive got a notification for two hours (meeting, or class or something) and my battery is drained quite a lot...
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
There are adjustable settings built into the app to prevent such a problem. Look in the Time Attributes for the Notification timeout setting and consider turning on the Proximity Sensor in the Miscellaneous area to avoid wasted battery when the phone is holstered or in your pocket.

No offense, but you and others like you should look into your available options before complaining about something. The answer is quite literally already built into the app for most of the potential issues.

Sorry if I come across as an ass, just pointing out the obvious.
[Android Apps and Games] pookguy88:
not sure if anyone has ran into this problem with the Nexus S yet but I can't seem to find any info..

If I have the blink feature enabled then whenever the notification LED turns off it activates the Gingerbread 'old tv screen off' animation.. is there a way to make it NOT do this? I just want the screen to blink with the dot (or whatever I set it to in NoLED)..

anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I suggest you crank up the Notification Volume under Android's settings to the max. Then make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode. See if that works out for you.

Then its normal :) NoLED starts when your phone starts and keeps that service running in the background at all times. sort of like the "launcher" app :)

This is not an option yet. I'm a little hesitant on the idea of keeping the screen turned on at all times. I don't think SAMOLEDs were made for that really. currently, time will only be displayed if you have any notification on the screen.

i'll look into the API, see if there is something I can set to make sure that TV affect is turned off.

edit: after a quick look, it doesn't seem like that would be possible :( i'm basically holding a wake lock and letting it go for the blink effect. so it uses the android settings for that. Maybe you can switch that off from some menu somewhere ? it seems its pretty integrated into the new android framework.
[Android Apps and Games] pookguy88:
thanks for the quick answer madmack, I appreciate the free support you're offering for this great app. I can't seem to find anything in my menus to turn off the TV effect.. Maybe I'll just have to wait until Google releases the API to control that effect. I'll leave noled installed but just disable it for now :(

what happens if I don't use the blink feature? The screen just stays on the entire time I don't dismiss the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yep.

I personally use "proximity sensor" to curb on battery drainage when am away from my phone or when its in my pocket. you should also check out the timeout features of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] lqbweb:
just an idea.... i understand that you cannot do magic with the cpu usage.... but maybe you can make that when it's blinking, and when it's in the "off status" the phone goes to sleep, lets say 2 second slept and 1 awake... then the battery usage would decrease it quite a lot, isnt it?? not sure if its been doing this already...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I wish there was an API that specifically puts the phone to sleep. Android manages the state of the "deep sleep" and it only happens after the phone idles for sometime.
[Android Apps and Games] dwang:
There's actually 2 ways to turn off the tv animation.

1. Install spare parts and set the window animation speed to "fast". That should disable the tv animation.

2. Install cyannogenmod 7 and it has the option of turning off the tv animation in the cyanogenmod settings.
[Android Apps and Games] pookguy88:
do I need to be rooted to install/use spare parts?

haven't gotten around to rooting/unlocking bootloader for my NS yet.. probably will when a CM7 RC comes out
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

Well, I'll be... I had the Notifications Volume more than 2/3 set, but I guess that wasn't enough to make it audible. You are a genius!:D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] com2:
I'm understand , but in other side , Nokia have this option on all symbian phones (also on AMOLED N8 , C7 , etc. ) . For sure this option should be disables . Correct me if I'm wrong, but all that is necessary in a code already exists ,you only need to set the clock as permanent event , and add new checkbox to options .

Anyway , I'm like your application very much , thanks a lot for your work .

Small donation on his way .
[Android Apps and Games] Ghost_Danser:
Thanks

Madmack: thank you for producing what is becoming my favourite application for the Samsung Galaxy S. It seriously makes an improvement to the usability of the phone, I now prefer it to real LEDs.

I would like to vote in favour of making the clock a permanent feature - with user options to switch it on/off/sleep. I am finding the clock a valuable addition to the application, but it annoys me that it only comes on when there are notifications. I find that I am deliberately triggering events or leaving notification unanswered just so I can keep the clock visible.

Thanks again for your work.

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Which version are you using ? I wanna get rid of this bug once and for all. I changed some code in 4.1.3 and was hoping it took care of that "Volume" bug.

All right :) two requests for the same feature. I'll be working on that one. I'll make it optional, and when enabled, will auto trigger after phone screen turns off by 30 seconds or so.

Edit: DONE. get the beta at OP.
[Android Apps and Games] sphoenixcompany:
Hi, i using noled 4.1.3 it works fine with my mail accounts in k9 but i use moxier mail app for my exchange account. I cant select moxier exchange account in noled.

Can i hope that one of the next version supports moxier exchnage?

Greets
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
it already does :) put a check next to "All other" in Toggle Notification, then give NoLED Accessibility rights. Then go to "Monitored Apps" and tick "moxier". should work .

side note: I'm posting a new beta that fixes the volume issue with Audio Reminder :) should work now. I probably want to make the ringtone selectable now that we got all other working without the need to trap audio events ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sphoenixcompany:
I have select moxier under "monitored apps" and i can see the icon if i testing. But if i receive an email in moxier there are no icon on display. :(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Make sure that NoLED has Accessibility rights and that the accessibility service is actually running.

go to Android's settings, then Applications > Running Services and under NoLED you should see both "AccessibilityService" and "MainService". If one is missing, try going into the Accessibility menu and disabling/enabling Accessibility.
[Android Apps and Games] com2:
Wow thanx a lot man!
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
NoLed

It reads 4.1.3, but I must confess that I think I restored the settings with Titanium. So maybe I restored a previous problem? I use the restore feature very selectively and NoLed is one of the few apps that I am willing to restore data for.:o
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've nailed that bug down in the latest beta on the OP. you can update to that version without losing your data, or just wait until we put that up on the market .
[Android Apps and Games] gagadada:
Guys, whenever I reboot my device, Noled looses it's settings. Not sure, but I think it started when I switched to darkys rom. Same behavior on another device. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] skipper2:
That is odd that it loses it's settings. I have never had that happen before, HOWEVER I did have a problem where it stopped working when my screen was turned off. I attributed that to the fact that the default screen unlock was replaced with a custom one from the theme that I use and this was discussed as being incompatible.

It turns out that a while ago I was using Advanced Task Killer and when I updated my ROM and KERNEL to SuplerClean DJ05 and StupidFast I didn't reinstall ATK. Even though ATK was not installed and did not show up as a running process anywhere NOLED would get killed every time the screen went off. I tried reinstalling ATK and adding NOLED to the ignore list and it is now working fine even with a custom slider screen unlocker. Even the time works fine in the new beta build posted on the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] gagadada:
I quickly tested it again while having no screenlock at all, same result. Noled works, but inly till a reboot. I have no task killer installed. Frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghost_Danser:
That was fast work :) Donation on it's way.

Thank you! Stewart.

Nexus S touchscreen not disabled

Using Nexus S, latest No LED version from market (4.1.3).

I noticed that when No LED is active, the touchscreen is still active. I wouldn't have noticed except that I am using the "microbes" live wallpaper, which is touch sensitive. When I open the phone (using the home key followed by the unlock swipe code) after a No LED notification is up for a while, I can see all of the touches that occurred on the screen while No LED was active.

I'm sure it's having an effect on the battery, so I'm going to disable it except for troubleshooting until it's fixed. If you let me know how to pull the touch driver logs, I can send it to you. I looked through the system logs and there's nothing interesting in there.

[Android Apps and Games] sphoenixcompany:
NoLED ist running i have restart the app and update on v4.1.8b but no moxier icon on the display if i receive an email in moxier.
[Android Apps and Games] midopama:
Please can you think about to give a possibility to select the notification sound from all tones on the phone !

Because the "ding" ist too smooth !
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm not able to turn off the Nexus S' touchscreen from a driver level because I don't have the device to experiment with the actual driver files. I'll still try to disable the touchscreen programatically though from whatever little Android API provides. I'm already experimenting with some stuff on my local build, these changes will get pushed through the next beta. Please do test it out and let me know if it helps.

Already there. Get beta from OP, read changelog from 2nd post.
[Android Apps and Games] dangerp:

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
should work. make sure you got both services running from android's "running services" menu. I've gotten some confirmation that it does work with whatsapp in particular.

I've had a similar problem with the latest beta on the OP. I've currently fixed that problem on my local copy so I'll put that up on the next beta. In my case, it was caused by the "audio reminder" feature, so you might want to switch that off.

I have a question regarding the Proximity Sensor feature and the Notification Timeout feature.

Does NoLED timeout if the proximity sensor is used? Actually, I can answer that question in attesting that it doesn't.

I set my notification timeout to be 1 hour and turn the proximity sensor feature on (not Dismiss with proximity sensor) as my setup for NoLED. When I go to bed at night, I simply just flip over my phone onto the screen so that the PS can do it's job in not turning on the screen if I do get notifications. However, I notice that when I wake up in the morning and turn my phone upright to check it, NoLED is active as it shows my missed notifications on the screen. This means that NoLED didn't timeout after 1 hour and that the PS was working all throughout the night. Should I not be expecting that the notification timeout feature should have turned off the notifications after 1 hour and thus the PS as well?

The issue with this is that the PS does drain the battery to a degree when it is used. While not much, it's a few percentages more than if it wasn't used. Shouldn't the notification timeout feature turn off NoLED as a whole after 1 hour of not getting any further notifications whether the PS is working or not? The way I incorporate the notification timeout feature into my use of the app is that after an hour of NoLED working (whether it's with the PS or not), it would turn off the notifications and basically turn off the app (barring no further notifications).

If this is working as intended, then it's a suggestion. If not then I'm just bug reporting. :)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I think it's working as intended. I keep my phone in my pocket and have the notification timeout set to 15 minutes, and I have Proximity Sensor checked. Don't have Dismiss with Proximity Sensor checked though. Basically I keep my phone in my pocket and when I get a text and take the phone out of my pocket, I don't see the NoLED notifications till light hits the proximity sensor. I may be wrong so I'll keep an eye out for that.
[Android Apps and Games] xda39:
Thank you madmack... a really nice App!!

[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
The way I see it is that, for me, 1 hour after NoLED shows me a notification should be the very max NoLED should be on for (again barring further notifications within this interval). If I don't dismiss the notifications after 1 hour, you can safely assume that I don't need a reminder because I'm sleeping, left my phone in my car, left it at home etc. I assume that the notification timeout feature would accomplish this in dismissing all notifications and thus saving my battery.

While the notification timeout feature does accomplish that, it doesn't seem to be working when the PS is being used. So for example, if I'm sleeping, left my phone in my car, or left my phone at home with the device faced down, the PS and NoLED will be active well after an hour until I actually dismiss it manually. Thus, the PS will be working away and draining battery.

Another example could be if I'm in a theater watching a long movie. The phone would be in my pocket with the PS feature on so the screen wouldn't come on. I wouldn't want the PS to be draining my battery for the entire duration of the movie. I would want it NoLED to timeout after an hour because I don't need to be reminded that I have a notification as everyone checks their phone after a movie anyways. No need for it to keep working in my pocket.

Basically, the timeout feature is great but should work despite the PS being used or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Works for me and has done for the last few months i.e. ever since I got the app.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The timeout feature works independently from the Proximity Sensor. But I think you misunderstand what the timeout feature is meant to do: its there to dismiss the notifications only and not shut NoLED down. So if you get an sms at 12:00am, have timeout after an hour, NoLED will get rid of that at 1:00am. If you receive another SMS at 7:00am and you wake up at 7:15, you'll still see it.

Perhaps at night you could set noled to dismiss with proximity sensor, that way the notifications are dismissed immediately as they arrive. Perhaps I can add that little feature to the Tasker/Locale plugin so you can set your own set of rules to activate/deactivate this feature. but yea, NoLED is doing what its supposed to do.

the timeout feature is intended to save battery power when you're not necessarily right next to your phone, but at the same time, making sure that you don't miss any newer events that might come up while you're around your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
I never meant for the timeout feature to disable NoLED entirely, but for it to function the same as how it would if the phone wasn't using the PS.

I was afraid that people wouldn't understand what I mean so here is an example:

Scenario #1:

Notification timeout = 5 minutes

Proximity Sensor = on

Orientation = Facing up (PS not blocked)

If I receive a notification, NoLED comes on and remains on until it reaches 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes has elapsed, NoLED dismisses the alerts and NoLED becomes passive again waiting for another alert. NoLED is not disabled nor is it using any other resources.

Working as intended.

Scenario #2:

Notification timeout = 5 minutes

Proximity Sensor = on

Orientation = Facing down (PS blocked)

With the phone facing down and the PS blocked, I receive a notification. When 5 minutes have elapsed I flip the phone over and unblock the PS and the screen will turn on and show the NoLED notifications. This means that the notifications didn't timeout after 5 minutes like in scenario #1. NoLED isn't passive after the 5 minutes and was instead still using the PS thus consuming resources.

In scenario #1, after 5 minutes, NoLED becomes passive again and consumes no resources.

In scenario #2, after 5 minutes, NoLED does not become passive as it continues to use the PS until the user manually dismisses it.

Basically, what I want is for the notification timeout feature to make NoLED passive (not disabled) after a certain time no matter if it is scenario #1 or #2. In truth, this isn't that huge of a deal and if this is intended then I am totally fine with it. I assumed that you would want the notification timeout feature to make NoLED passive - regardless of whether the phone is oriented up or down. Like you said, if you get a SMS at 12:00am, NoLED will get rid of that notification at 1:00am. The problem is that it doesn't if it's PS is being occupied (scenario #2) which is the nature of this suggestion/bug report.
